'The Boy Wonder' could leave 'The Red Devils'

The relationship between Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and striker Wayne Rooney has deteriorated again, with media reports suggesting the 25-year-old could be on his way out of Old Trafford.

The England striker almost left the club in October last year only to have a last-minute change of heart and sign a lucrative long-term contract.

But the new deal has done nothing to ease the strain on Rooney's relationship with Ferguson, with News of the World quoting a United insider as saying the situation has reached breaking point.

"Rooney has been moaning about the squad again, but Sir Alex has told him he should look at himself first before criticising others," the insider told NOTW.

"Sir Alex is not pleased with the way Rooney has been playing."
